About The Artist in Me

The Artist in Me was developed in order to give everyone of every age and skill level a chance to create a painting with the guidance of an artist who will have confidence in you until you have confidence in yourself.

Teresa Mathias, the owner of The Artist in Me, is a gifted artist with a bachelor's degree in Fine Art. She became a special education teacher and later a school administrator. While she loved teaching and working with students of all ages and abilities, she missed using her gift as an artist to make a positive contribution in people's lives. She gave up teaching in public and private school to pursue her passion and bring the opportunity for creative expression to the entire community.

The Artist In Me will teach painting to adults who wish to become more creative, older adults who desire social and emotional connection through meaningful activities, children who want to be creative when traditional education can't provide the outlet, disabled persons who would like to strengthen their skills while participating in a fun activity, and pairs of children/adults, friends or lovers who would like to bond over a shared experience.
